It's amazing how many comments miss the damn point, a lot of them whining about how he's "belittling the efforts of those in the movement," and how, "protesting abortion is part of being pro-life, so it's pro-life."  Quite brushing off the concerns posted in this article by saying that the other social problems behind abortion aren't as important as the immediate need to 'end the killing of innocent life.'  As someone else in the comments said (paraphrased), having that attitude is simply putting a band-aid over a festering wound.
Yeah. This. Abortion is a symptom, not a disease.

I was hoping it was a Franciscan Shaolin monk, with the crazy martial arts and stuff.
